Report #15367

[agent\_craft] Generating legal templates without explicit jurisdictional scoping and choice-of-law disclaimers

Always prompt for or state the assumed jurisdiction in any legal/financial template. If generating a template, explicitly include a placeholder for 'Governing Law' and a comment that local counsel must review it.

Journey Context:
Agents default to US/Delaware law in training data. A non-compete clause valid in Texas is void in California \(Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 16600\). Generating a generic contract without jurisdictional awareness creates latent legal bombs for the user.
